Description
New York Times bestselling author Tia Williams returns with an intensely romantic, deliciously sexy tale about a woman searching for her handsome seatmate on a European flight--and the unexpected places her hunt for love leads her. Sasha Cruz knows types. As a booked-and-busy casting agent, she's always casting--at happy hour, the grocery store, everywhere. She's all about finding the perfect person to slot into the perfect role. What she doesn't do, however, is relationships. Too much energy, not enough time. On a flight to Paris for work, a chance encounter with her type changes everything. Sasha's seated next to a broodingly attractive mystery man, and sparks fly--but they never exchange contact information. Convinced she's lost out on her soulmate, Sasha emails her work friend for help, but accidentally writes to the entire company worldwide! The international manhunt to find Seat F begins. Meanwhile Sasha takes matters into her own hands. She hires a smoldering detective she knew in another lifetime--who complicates matters in unforeseen (and irresistible) ways. With a worldwide search underway, will love take flight for Sasha?

"Tia Williams is one of the very best romance writers we have. A forever auto-buy for me."--Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author
"Whenever I finish a Tia Williams book, I have to sit and marvel at the story I've just consumed. This is the power and beauty of her storytelling. And I felt this in spades with The Missed Connection. With her signature lush prose and depth of characters, Williams adds smart, laugh-out-loud humor and perfect, swoon-worthy romance to create what will already claim a spot as one of the best of the year. This book has everything I want in my romance novels--banter, yearning, intense chemistry--but with deeper themes and arcs that pull at heartstrings. The Missed Connection is a can't miss read. Highly recommend!"--Susan Lee, bestselling author of Julia Song is Undateable
